In the early morning of the second day, Qiao Tathagata followed the advice of the underworld doctor and came to the Hundred Martial Arts Association. When all the warriors saw Qiao Tathagata coming, they all blurted out their praises and made a lot of noise.

"It's Qiao Tathagata, Qiao Tathagata is back!"

"Qiao Tathagata is our hero in the Central Plains!"

Qiao Tathagata was startled when he heard the words, and bowed to decline, "Everyone, you are serious. Qiao Tathagata is only doing her duty. Repelling Xi Jianliu is the credit of everyone's concerted efforts. Qiao Tathagata dare not take the credit."

The warriors thought it was Qiao Rulai's humble words, "Qiao Rulai, you don't have to be polite. If you hadn't stopped us that day, we would have killed Xijianliu long ago and left our corpses in the wilderness. It's just... oh... I hate Niu Zhangmen, Master Dingyi, Chief He and others all sacrificed their lives for the Xijianliu Rebellion."

The rest of the warriors reconsidered after hearing these remarks, "It's that Emperor Wen! He actually poisoned Tianyun Mountain, killing many fellow martial artists and brothers from the Hundred Martial Arts Association. We must seek revenge from him!"

At this time, a martial artist suggested, "Qiao Tathagata, although the Hundred Martial Arts Association was established to fight against Xi Jianliu, everyone has decided to continue to maintain the existence of the Hundred Martial Arts Association, and you will be led by Qiao Tathagata as our martial arts leader." La."

The rest of the people heard this, and they all praised this suggestion as an excellent one, so they said in unison: "That's right, that's right, Qiao Tathagata will be our martial arts leader from now on!"

"Everyone, and..." Just when Qiao Rulai was about to decline, he suddenly remembered what his father and the senior doctor of the underworld had said yesterday, and he didn't reject the proposal, "Ah... Since you love me, Qiao Rulai will do my best."

At the same time, a white-haired old man with a bamboo stick walked up to Qiao Tathagata, "This old man never grows old with a smile. He has been hidden in Lushan Mountain for a long time and doesn't care about the world. Hearing that the hero of the alliance was young and repelled Xi Jianliu, this old man felt ashamed, so he didn't hesitate." Remnants, come to join in the grand event and follow the lord."

Hearing Xiao Bu Lao's name, Qiao Rulai asked with a guess: "Could it be the old hero Xiao Xiao with a bamboo stick, ah... Hearing the name for a long time, Qiao Rulai was flattered."

Xiao Bulao's gentle words contained three points of shame for his failure to help the Central Plains, ""I have retired for many years, and the lord of the alliance still knows the name of the old man, it is because the old man is flattered. "

After Xiao Bu Lao finished speaking, the heroic young knight next to him bowed and said, "I'm Guo Zheng, I have something to report to the leader."

Seeing Guo Zheng with a solemn expression, Qiao Rulai must have something important to tell, "Guo Shaoxia, please tell me."

Guo Zheng slowly told what he had seen and heard, as well as the news he had found out, "On the way here, I heard news one after another that there were several massacres in the martial arts. The victims included Guanglun Shanbu's family, Everyone in the Gufeng family, Bagua Temple, Yinyangmen, etc., suffered torture and died with cruel methods."

"There is such a thing, um——" Qiao Tathagata lowered her eyes, and a dark light flashed in her eyes, "It has something to do with Fengshui Kanyu, could it be—is it something to do with the Nine Dragons Book that Senior Tian Yujue said before he left?" '

Seeing that Qiao Tathagata fell silent, Guo Zheng continued to ask, "Leader, what should we do now?"

When everyone heard Guo Zheng's question, they took it for granted, "Of course it is to attack the Huanzhu Tower, and kill Wen Huang to avenge everyone in Niu's sect!"

Another person said: "There is also General Director Miyamoto, if Nishi Kenliu is released privately, he must die!"

Qiao Tathagata heard everyone say this, clenched her fists with her hands hidden in her sleeves, suppressed her desire to explain to Master, and stepped forward to persuade: "Wait a minute, everyone, now that the Western Sword Flow will be destroyed, and the Central Plains is waiting to be revived." Why don't you all go back to your own sect and rebuild your homeland? As for the massacre, Emperor Wen and Shi... Miyamoto's matter, let's put it down for now and don't act rashly."

Although some people hesitated to make a decision with Qiao Tathagata, everyone still believed in Qiao Tathagata's decision, "Qiao Tathagata said don't act rashly, so we shouldn't act rashly, we won't make mistakes if we listen to him."

For the trust that everyone gave him, Qiao Rulai felt a heavier burden on his shoulders, "Don't worry, everyone, Qiao Rulai has arrangements. During this period, you should first find out the whereabouts of Miyamoto, but it is strictly forbidden to do anything. I'll talk about it when I come back." Then, he turned to look at Guo Zheng, "Guo Shaoxia, please continue to investigate the murder case."

"Follow the order."

Seeing that everyone agreed to his proposal, Qiao Rulai couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Master, he should be fine for the time being. Now it's time to go to Shihun Mountain to ask Senior Shi Gandang about the Demon Armor.

It was another dark night, after Qiao Tathagata left the Hundred Martial Arts Association, she came to Shihun Mountain to ask Shi Gandang about the Demon Armor, but found that Shi Gandang had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood outside the door. No one is there, the arrangement is messy, someone has done something here. Shi Gandang must have encountered an enemy, but if something unexpected happens, why is there no body, could it be that he was captured?" Thinking of this, Qiao Tathagata clenched the Buddha beads in her hand, secretly speculating in her heart, "The origin of the forgery of the Devil's Armor, the mysterious bloody murder case, and now that Shi Gandang's predecessor has disappeared again, is there any connection between them?"With all these clues, where should I start? '

Thinking about it, he unknowingly walked under the blood-colored glazed tree, only to see the underworld doctor waiting for him there, "Senior, where is that gentleman?"

Seeing Qiao Tathagata's preoccupied look, the doctor of the underworld couldn't help but comforted him: "Don't worry, the time hasn't come yet, he won't show up until midnight."

"Zishi?"

Seeing that Qiao Tathagata was still frowning, the doctor of the underworld sighed softly, "Seeing that you are so anxious to find him, it shouldn't be just to thank him, right?"

At this time, Qiao Tathagata needs someone who can let him confide in his troubles. Seeing the doctor ask this question, he confides his troubles softly, "To be honest, although the flame demon has been eliminated, there are still many unsettled crises emerging in the Central Plains. so……"

The doctor of the underworld knew what Qiao Tathagata said after hearing it, and then continued: "So you mean, do you want him to help you like Emperor Wen did? If so, how much do you hope to help?"

"What do you mean by those words?" Once the doctor of the underworld said this, Qiao Tathagata felt that there was something deep in the words.

Seeing that Qiao Tathagata is easy to understand, the doctor of the underworld reminded Qiao Tathagata more, "He once said that as long as someone can pass his three tests, you can ask him for one thing, and you will see him later. You can ask him to help you with one thing, depending on whether you want to heal the Tibetan mirror, or save Xiao Kong, or solve the hidden crisis in Miaojiang, or even... deal with Emperor Wen, you can ask him for help , but you have to remember that he will only promise you one thing, extra requests are impossible."

"Senior said so firmly, can he accomplish any of these things?" Hearing the doctor's description of that gentleman's ability, Qiao Tathagata was a little confused.

Hearing what Qiao Rulai said, the doctor of the underworld took a few steps back in surprise, as if he had made that person too perfect before, and hurriedly said, "That's not necessarily true, but there are not many things he can't do in this world , as long as you ask him, he will try his best to help you, but remember, you only have one chance. You have to think clearly about what you want him to help you with."

Qiao Rulai could hear the hint in Mingyi's words, "I understand."

only……

Seeing that Qiao Rulai was lost in thought, she chuckled lightly, "That's the end of my mission, you should think about it yourself, I won't disturb you anymore." Then he left.

After the doctor of the underworld left, while waiting for the gentleman to appear alone, Qiao Rulai repeatedly pondered what the doctor had said before, "In addition to expressing thanks, the doctor of the underworld said that I have completed three tests, and the senior will promise me one." Request, to be so respected by him, this senior is extraordinary, if I really have this opportunity, what request should I make, the whereabouts of the Demon Armor is important, but Miao Jiang is also a big worry, and there is also the recent bloody case in the martial arts world , also needs to be resolved urgently. '

"Ah..." Qiao Rulai sighed softly, 'What should I do? '

Just when Qiao Tathagata was worrying and contemplating, a gust of breeze blew through his long hair, shaking the pearl leaves on the glazed tree, and under the silver-white moonlight, an elegant figure slowly walked towards him.
